Harry and Liam, Harry and Liam, Harry and Liam, Harry and Liam.
This question has been doing the rounds for years, the players had to have been capped me McCarthy though.What......
Think he played CB in a comeback game when one of the Irish hacks (can't remember which one) encouraged the booing of keane after he had pulled out of a few friendlies. Think he was MOTM, just can't remember the oppositionI thought the same... But what match did he play for ireland at centre half... i can't remember
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Against Iceland at home, I remember Dunphy saying afterwards that we had a mini in midfield with the rolls royce in the garage. It was a 0 0 draw, one of mc carthys most baffling team selectionsI thought the same... But what match did he play for ireland at centre half... i can't remember
Late '80s, I think. Played four games in all - one against Yugoslavia in the run-up to Euro 88, and also against Tunisia the first game afterwards (Steve Staunton and Pat Scully's debuts!). Think he was very young - he'd hardly be 40 now, I'd say - but very slight and injury prone. Was a wide midfielder, I think?

Resign, now!
Major slip-up on what should have been the road to France 98. Roy Keane plays as sweeper in a 3-5-2 - and the press slaughters Mick McCarthy

Kevin O'Callaghan from Escape to Victory! Think he played for Ireland at some stage? Former Ipswich player.
Nah Escape To Victory was only a movie mate, good effort though........
Bye bye Stan. Go off back to collecting cones you useless git.
Kevin O'Flanagan played soccer for ireland in the 30's
his brother played rugby for ireland
But the players were real! Pelé wasn't just a bad actor in real life!
At the end, it goes through the players/actors. Pele, John Wark, some Scandinavians and then Kevin O'Callaghan (I think) of Ireland. He was a real player! He plays Tony Lewis - will try and find some more info...
Edit - Google is absolutely brilliant! Here we go!

I remember Kevin O Callaghan alright. Pretty sure he's the O' Callaghan that played in the game below in October 1979
"IRELAND 3-2 UNITED STATES
An historic first ever meeting between the two sides was watched by 23,000 people at Dalymount Park. The Irish manager for the day was Alan Kelly who took over from Johnny Giles who was unable to be at the match through bad health. In his absence Kelly gave a debut to Tottenham's Chris Hughton - the first black player to play for Ireland.
The Americans went into the game having beaten Hungary in Budapest three days earlier and they got off to a great start when they went 1-0 up when Nanchoff set-up Dibernardo for a goal after twelve minutes. The States continued to apply the pressure before Ireland made a number of changes at half-time. However the visitors stretched their lead on the hour mark when Liveric scored. However this only sparked a revival for the Irish who replied with three goals from Tony Grealish, Don Givens and John Anderson.
Ireland: Kearns; Hughton, Martin, O'Leary, Grimes, Murphy, Grealish, Chandler, McGee, O'Callaghan, Heighway. Subs: Givens for McGee (44 mins.), Mulligan for Chandler (half-time), Anderson for O'Leary (65 mins.)
United States: Dubose; Bellinger, Pecker, Keough, Makowski, Dilbernardo, Cantillo, Bandov, Nanchoff, Villa, Liveric. Subs: Van der Beck for Dibernardo (57 mins.), Pesa for Liveric (85 mins.)
Referee: Eammon Farrell (Ireland)"
"I'd rather play in front of a full house than an empty crowd" Johnny Giles
If I'm not wrong, he got about 18 caps for the national side.
I have been trying to come up with eleven too, by the - an AWFUL lot harder than I had first thought.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
How about a team of left footed players.
Or a team or left-wingers? (they can be in any position of course).
Currrent players if possible and an all time best?

There's a full back called Kieran O'Reagan listed on the FAI site as having 4 caps. He played against Poland in a defense with McCarthy, O'Leary and Anthony Byrne so maybe you could work out if he was a right or left back.
